Poo Lit VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan

left

I think we forgot about it. It's normally a "sometime before now" thing, if memory serves. So I'm looking for two things: judges (no fatties) and a date (also no fatties). SirModusoperandiBoinc! 15:00, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Contents

Date

The date has been picked. It's October the Somethingth. I assume that means the first Monday in October: October 5. Also known as "Rosh omon" in Hebrewsh, the Jewish festival of Sitting Quietly and Thinking About Egypt a Long Time Ago, October 5 is the traditional day for Lithuanians to celebrate the coming of Fall by staring at the Sun and making dirty jokes about cured meats. Now all we need are the Judges. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 21:46, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Judges

I'm looking for judges for the next Poo Lit Surprise (three, plus hopefully a spare, in case someone flakes out). And, no, you can't be a judge and an entrant. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 15:00, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

What about being an errant judge? Or can we make make judgemental entries? MrNFork you!17:12, Aug 22

It has been a while for me but I would enjoy judging another Poo Lit Surprise. --Sirgwax (talk) 19:27, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

eh, actually now it looks like there's gonna be enough anyway. DonPuttanocHeDDs19:19,8September,2009

Update:

While I'd prefer judges that have either judged or entered in previous Poo Lits, I'm amenable to those that do Pee Reviews to be judges, as well, asuming no one has a problem with that. Pee Review and Poo Lit Judging have a lot in common. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 00:29, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

Best Article

Don't wanna be typecast to Best Alt. Namespace, despite it being the category of my own creation. I'll judge here. --T​K​F​​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​U​CK 00:53, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Best Illustrated

I'd like to judge this section. I promise to be lazy. A word of advice to people entering this section (if I'm a judge): I reserve the right to stop reading your article at any point if it becomes too boring. So keep that in mind. Also, someone may want to email me so I know what and when I'm supposed to be doing things. Good luck. -- BrigadierGeneralSirZombiebaron 21:23, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I promise to judge these sinners with little to no utmost piety.--ShuaDaddy 00:50, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

I too would like to judge this section. Cause I'm really very judgmental. --Dame 10:07, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Best Rewrite

First I was gonna enter, but it looks like we might be a tad short on judges right now, so I was gonna join Mordillo in alt-namespace, but I've judged that one once or twice already, so I'm gonna join team UU in the rewrite category. Let's do this motherfucker! - T.L.B.WotM, UotM, FPrize, AotM, ANotM, PLS, UN:HS, GUN21:58, Aug 25

Traitor to the fatherland! ~ 23:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Nah, this is where all the cool kids are at. --UU - natter08:14, Aug 26

I'll do it as long as UU or TLB don't show up and ruin everything like last Christmas. -OptyCSucks! CUN14:02, 29 Aug

Whatever happened to starting in January-February like every other PLS (with the exception of the early April one, which I don't understand why it was done except to probably work around the Turkey Day Ball)? The PLS traditionally runs mid-year (July to August) and at the beginning of the year (January-February). I think if we start it in September, or even October, it might be a bit conflicting with other things that might be happening, like the Turkey Day Ball and Forest Fire Week (when is the next one anyways?). Bi-annual works as long as the gaps between the competitions being held are roughly the same and things stay consistent; I think midyear and the beginning of the year work well around the TDB. I can't say much for starting on September 15th since September 15th is a Tuesday and the PLS starts on Mondays (the September beginning also conflicts with several religious holidays). October 1st also happens to be a Tuesday (but it's the first!) and will conflict with my celebration of candy and maybe encourage ridiculously-themed macabre or trick-or-treating pieces to win festive points (zomg he wrote about trick or treating and it's around Halloween!)
I was also wondering what the rules might be for this time around. I can't quite recall whether writers could be judges as long as they weren't judging a category that they were going to enter. Anybody know? --Hotadmin4u69[TALK] 22:00, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

On your last point: It got changed last PLS so that judges couldn't enter at all, I believe. –—Hv(talk)22/08 22:10

I'm torn between two beautiful women. It's a tough life. I'm leaning towards sticking with the brunette, as she's got a wooden leg so she can't run away as fast. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 23:44, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I usually go with the most fertile one. By the way, if termites are in her wooden leg it's considered an orgy, just like how if your dog is on the end of the bed and watches it's technically a threesome. --Hotadmin4u69[TALK] 16:40, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Possibly a bit preemptive in declaring this, but...

...it seems like there might not be enough judges. I'd be more than willing to judge, except that I ultimately want to enter the competition, which is keeping me from doing so--I'd be willing to bet other users feel likewise. That being said, I don't see why judges can't also be competitors, as long as they don't enter the same category they're judging in. —UnführerGuildyRittervonGuildensternenstein 06:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

You can judge or you can enter. If there aren't enough judges that's because it's all your fault and also you suck. Now stop asking. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 07:50, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, my proposal seems like the common sense way of doing it. Judging from the above, you're going to be minus at least two potential judges (Tagstit and I) doing it your non-common-sense way. —UnführerGuildyRittervonGuildensternenstein 16:04, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

This discussion has been had several times before. It always kicks up an absolute bunch of drama. However, one thing I can't remember being discussed before: can a person judge more than one category? Might help with the number of judges if we're a bit short. I don't mind judging two categories if it'll help. --UU - natter08:24, Aug 25

If it's necessary, I'm not too bothered by the idea. If it's necessary, however, I'm all for not having Poo Lit at all. If we can't find a mere fifteen magnanimous souls to help the collective for the greater good, then we're no better than Conservapedia. There. I said it. Conservapedia. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 09:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Umm... I got a few concerns...

UN:CW was schedule for September 15th... That's not on any more, is it? Namely asking because last time I was told it was only after Poo Lit Surprise judging had been completed, which pushed it two weeks back... By the way, that was fucking pointless... Also, we need to speed up the judging process. I say give the judges a maximum of either a week or 10 days to judge. If you don't have the time to read all of the articles and judge which is the best within 10 days, then guess what? You shouldn't have volunteered to judge!MegaPleb•Dexter111344•Complain here 21:44, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I second this. Move UN:CW to immediately after the PLS if they're going to conflict in September, and force the judges to stop being such procrastinating shitdicks. --Hotadmin4u69[TALK] 23:40, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I told Modus I'd pony up the cash since I'm a self-righteous wanker. --Hotadmin4u69[TALK] 01:21, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

And I told myself that I'd pitch in $50. Then I told myself to shut up. Then me told I to not be so cheap. Then I had nachos. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 01:46, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

If I win, I'm donating the winnings (an Amazon gift certificate, right?) to charity. Which is kind of a moot point, since I don't intend to enter this time. --PlebSYNDROMECUNmedicate(butt poop!!!!) 02:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

No. The prizes are paid in Chilean Pesos, the official currency of Easter Island. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 02:43, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah! I've got planet stickers and a plush roadkill cat and suckers and felt pens and a gold ant keychain and a bug on a spring and a bunch of checks that I'm pretty sure I never cashed! SirModusoperandiBoinc! 21:04, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

So how exactly does the judging work?

Like how does it go? What exactly do judges do? DonPuttanocHeDDs02:30,2September,2009

You read the articles. You rank them 1 to whatever. The top 5 get points. You may (if you wish) explain your judgerin' with notes 'n' stuff. •••Necropaxx(T){~}02:45, Sep 2

Led's right. While we do need judges, I would prefer that you enter one before judging one. Life experience. If worse comes to worse, we can fold two categories together (Alt and Illustrated, probably) into one giant category of apathy (Best Alterstrated). SirModusoperandiBoinc! 03:23, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Really? But he still has the clear skin and cheery demeanour of someone who just got here! What's his secret?! I must have his secret! SirModusoperandiBoinc! 04:34, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

I did enter the last one as a noob. I did bad. I just didn't know how the judging worked. And I still have the clear skin and cherry meanor because I haven;'t written a full good article in quite a while. DonPuttanocHeDDs11:03,2September,2009

How complex words you use. Oh, and can I enter as a noob? 3 months w —The preceding unsigned comment was added byZheliel (talk • contribs)

People often forget that Cheddar and I are roughly the same age, both in Uncyc. terms and in real life. I, however, have wrinkles in all sorts of places, to further belabor the above skin analogy. —UnführerGuildyRittervonGuildensternenstein 15:18, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

We're waiting for Cheddar to age, so that we can make a joke about it. Cheese humour is the highest level of humour. In Japan, the samurai were only permitted to mention it at all after completing the cheese trials, the Chee zito. Only a few survived the trials. Their chi, or "inner cheese", was strong. SirModusoperandiBoinc! 17:09, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Aye. They had to succeed in this muenster task before they would be deemed gouda nuff to be allowed to use cheese humor. The pun, on the other hand, remains the lowest form of humor. -OptyCSucks! CUN17:22, 2 Sep

Wimps. We had something very similar to that here in Italy, only it was called La Prove Formaggio, and you had to do it when you turned 6 years old. DonPuttanocHeDDs19:29,2September,2009

I wouldn't recommend it either. You have to do really disgusting things. They were so disgusting that even I didn't enjoy doing them. --Hotadmin4u69[TALK] 19:47, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
